Kleinwort Hambros

Kleinwort Hambros invited its employees to ‘Unmind’ with the introduction of a wellbeing app launched to give helpful advice during the pandemic and beyond.  

The app was just one initiative launched by the private banking and wealth management organisation, with others including online fitness classes and meditation.  

The firm puts a great emphasis on the learning and development of its people, working with different teams to create offsite days for personal development activities. To attract and retain the best talent, Kleinwort Hambros offers employees the chance to work on topics outside of their normal job remit, as well as having a group-wide mentoring programme.  

Despite the pandemic, Kleinwort Hambro, which has a wealth of experience in helping individuals, families, entrepreneurs, charities and their advisers to manage their financial assets, launched ‘NEXCO’, a scheme that introduces a selection of staff to the current EXCO committee and involves them shadowing the EXCO committee and getting involved in projects.

And it’s not just internal projects that staff are encouraged to get involved in, either, with the firm encouraging staff to join in with volunteering initiatives, such as reading to children in local schools and mentoring of young people in the area.  

Taking part in the Best Companies survey, too, is something Kleinwort Hambros uses to benefit others - donating £1 to charity for every survey completed
